Ubuntu – Battery icon changed

12.04batteryiconsindicatorthemes

I don't know what happened, but today when I logged in to Ubuntu 12.04, the battery icon looked strange (when unplugged):

enter image description here

When it's plugged, the icon looks as always been, the problem is when it's not plugged in:

I'm using ubuntu-mono-dark as the main theme, but trying to change the themes doesn't do anything, that "ugly" icon remains the same.

Any ideas if this is a bug or something? (or how to fix it)

This bug has since been resolved.

Ubuntu – Battery indicator doesn’t change its status (but after reboot)

This might be a little weird better answer if your problem is still not solved. I wrote a small python script to show the battery status and its percentage. But the only problem is that you need to run the script every time you need to see the status.

from subprocess import Popen,PIPE
process=Popen(['upower','-i','/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0'],stdout=PIPE)
process1=Popen(['grep','-E','state|to\ full|percentage'],stdin=process.stdout,stdout=PIPE)

answer=process1.stdout.read().split('\n')
answer.pop()
final=[]
for i in range(len(answer)):
    temp=answer[i].split(':')
    final.append(temp[0].strip(' ')+' : '+temp[1].strip(' '))

string=''
for i in final:
    string+=i+'\n
string=string.strip('\n')

Popen(['notify-send',string])
